Budget Reviews

Money is fine for supplies and could alway move money

School Equipment- New copier for front office

No amendment yet but possibly for aides but can move from land trust to TSSA

Aides raise caused the problem of not being able to work the same amount of time/days. Asked aides to give us furlough days January through March. Morale is ok because aides furlough days can be turned into opportunity to be an emergency substitute teacher.

Reviewed the existing safety plan created thus far and talked about adding Youtube videos made for Altara with parents that were made by Bethany Foster.

Talk about air pressure and a few exterior doors being affected. Plan is to keep interior doors shut to stop the pressure from building.
